Hi, I posted to zope@zope.org regarding this error with no useful reponse. I am running Zope-2.4.1 on linux with python2.1.1. Whenever I try to pack the database I get: Error Type: FileStorageError Error Value: The database has already been packed to a later time or no changes have been made since the last pack traceback (innermost last): File /home/zope/Zope-2.4.1-src/lib/python/ZPublisher/Publish.py, line 223, in publish_module File /home/zope/Zope-2.4.1-src/lib/python/ZPublisher/Publish.py, line 187, in publish File /home/zope/Zope-2.4.1-src/lib/python/Zope/__init__.py, line 226, in zpublisher_exception_hook (Object: Fake) File /home/zope/Zope-2.4.1-src/lib/python/ZPublisher/Publish.py, line 171, in publish File /home/zope/Zope-2.4.1-src/lib/python/ZPublisher/mapply.py, line 160, in mapply (Object: manage_pack) File /home/zope/Zope-2.4.1-src/lib/python/ZPublisher/Publish.py, line 112, in call_object (Object: manage_pack) File /home/zope/Zope-2.4.1-src/lib/python/App/ApplicationManager.py, line 419, in manage_pack (Object: LockableItem) File /home/zope/Zope-2.4.1-src/lib/python/ZODB/DB.py, line 535, in pack File /home/zope/Zope/lib/python/ZODB/FileStorage.py, line 1240, in pack (Object: /home/zope/instance/var/Data.fs) FileStorageError: (see above) I have tried making changes to the database, setting the system clock forward several years, and it made no difference. I also commented out the redundancy check at line 1240 in FileStorage.py and tried the pack. In that case, it was seemingly successfull, except that the DB size didn't reduce. Any ideas on how my DB was corrupted and how I can fix it? (I am happy to provide the 1.5gig Data.fs if that would help ;-) ) terry -- Terry Kerr (terry@adroit.net) Chief Technical Officer Adroit Internet Solutions (www.adroit.net) Phone: +61 3 9563 4461 Fax: +61 3 9563 3856 ICQ: 79303381
